St. Francis of Assisi Pastor’s Column – Palm Sunday (4/9/2017)

As we enter Holy Week, I can remember going to the Holy Thursday service at my parish in Burlington MA when I was growing up, and the hushed silence and darkness in the church after the service ended. These are holy and solemn days we are entering, and I invite you to check below for the schedule of services for this upcoming week. You might spend time reading over the passion stories in the gospels, or a very good recent book is “The Passion and the Cross” by Ronald Rolheiser.

Finally, many thanks to all who have contributed to our 2017 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. If you have not yet made a contribution, we ask you to please consider making one, as our parish plays a very important part in the BAA’s success.
